How to auto config time on your MyBook via ntp

WorldBook 22 Nov 2007 00:50

1. visit ntp.org and find/choose an ntp server that is near you.

2. edit /etc/ntp.conf

and add the server

"server ntp.ServerName.com"

3. restart the ntp /etc/init.d/ntp.sh restart

( or reboot your MyBook)

From now on, when the mybook boots up, it will go to the internet (assuming it's online)
and synch its time with that of the ntp server.

Enjoy,
Mike

I ha ve a problem.
My ntp.conf is this

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
server 2.it.pool.ntp.org
server 1.europe.pool.ntp.org
server 3.europe.pool.ntp.org
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
// tinker minpoll 12
// logconfig=syncstatus +sysevents

When I execute this

/etc/init.d/ntp.sh

all it's ok and date is synchronized

When I reboot MBWE ths ntp.conf change and it is

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
server
server
server
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
// tinker minpoll 12
// logconfig=syncstatus +sysevents

Have you have a suggestion for my trouble?

Thanks n advance

OH…. I have solved myself by commenting this line in network_control.sh file

1. Setup static NTP server address

if [ -n "$static_ntp" ]
then
sed "s/server.*\$/server $static_ntp iburst/" < $NTP_CONF > tmp$$
mv -f tmp$$ $NTP_CONF
else
sed "s/server.*\$/server/" < $NTP_CONF > tmp$$
mv -f tmp$$ $NTP_CONF
fi

P.S.
But I think that the correct moves is modifying with correct number the ntpd.pid file in /var/run
